Christmas is a time for one thing, and one thing only, and that is – SPARKLE.

Jewellery is a much sought after gift and wardrobe accessory every Christmas season, as it’s the perfect time to debut some serious bling and embrace all that glitters.

We all love the sight of a jewellery box hidden under Christmas wrapping paper here at Goss HQ, so in honor of the glitz we’ve compiled a list of the best places to purchase some bling-bling this festive season.

1. Newbridge Silverware

We couldn’t compile a list of the best jewellery joints without mentioning Newbridge Silverware. The brand has been around since 1934 and has since been Ireland’s premier designer and producer of homeware and giftware.

Today, Newbridge Silverware is recognised as a major name is design for their jewellery, accessories, gifts, kitchenware, leatherwares and interiors.

Right now, we are particularly loving the TI:AMO Collection with the new face of Newbridge Silverware Naomi Campbell, and who doesn’t love the stunning Blue Box packaging?
